Autumn Pop-Up Card with Animals

| ullycatdesigns

It’s time for the Karen Burniston Design Team November 2025 Challenge whose theme is FUN FACES. I made a slimline Thanksgiving card using two new stamp sets – Fall Phrases and Fun Faces 1.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: I cut a 7 1/2×8 5/8-inch rectangle from white 65lb. cardstock. Then I scored and folded in half to create a 3 3/4×8 5/8-inch slimline cardbase.

Animals: Using the Woodland Animals and Winter Animals die sets make two bears, one raccoon, one fox and one squirrel. Use the Fun Faces 1 to stamp on the animals eyes, noses and mouths. Make four red apples from the Tiny Fruit set and add to all the animals except the squirrel. Make an acorn for the squirrel using the tiny acorn die in the Woodland Animals set.

Leaf and Acorn Border: Cut eight oak leaves from the Tree Pop-Up set and seven acorns using the tiny acorn die in the Woodland Animals set. (I cut a bunch of leaves from orange and brown cardstock and four more acorns knowing I would use the leftovers to decorate the inside of the card.) adhere to front border strip as shown in the photos and video.

Pumpkins: Cut three pumpkins from orange patterned paper. Dry emboss them using the pumpkin die from the Autumn Elements set in your die cutting machine’s embossing sandwich. Cut two of the pierced labels for the Little Labels Pop-Up side labels from green patterned paper. Layer together a pumpkin onto the green label and decorate with leftover leaves and acorns. Adhere the remaining pumpkin to the card back.

Label Pop-Up: Cut one of the large die in the Little Labels Pop-Up set from green cardstock. (Watch the assembly video located at the bottom of the linked page.) Assemble as show in the video above.

Sentiments: The inside stamped sentiments are from the Fall Phrases set. The die cut “Happy Thanksgiving” is cut from orange pattern paper using the Word Set 7 – Autumn set. From white cardstock, cut two medium sized labels from the Labels – Crosshatch, the center label and three banners from the Little Labels Pop-Up set to stamp. Adhere the largest two labels as places to write a personal message.

Envelope:  The card fits into a #10 business size envelope whose back flap was stamped in brown ink “Thankful Grateful Blessed” from the Fall Phrases stamp set.

Haunted Woods Pop-Up Halloween Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for October 2025 using the theme of PEEK-A-BOO!” – What is hiding in your card? I chose to make a Halloween card with a haunted woods using the Arch Pop-Up, Tree Pop-Up, Halloween Elements, Slim Pattern Plate – Spiders and Ovals- Crosshatch die sets and the new Halloween Phrases stamp set.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Start with a white, purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase. Covered the four panels with decorative papers.

Arch Pop-Up: Watch the assembly video (located at the bottom of the linked die set page) for the Arch Pop-Up. For details on how I decorated the arch with nine trees cut from the Tree Pop-Up die set, watch the video above. (Four of the trees are glued onto the arch side pop-ups and the remaining five are cut up for their branches which are glued onto the arch and the back pop-out strip. Orange leaves were cut also from the Tree Pop-Up set.)

Decorations: Three ghosts were cut from pearlescent vellum using the Halloween Elements dies. The dangling spider is made up of two spiders cut using the Slim Pattern Plate – Spiders. (You can use the spider from the Halloween Scene set as well.) Sandwich a piece of white thread between the two spider die cuts and tie onto back pop-out strip behind the arch.

Sentiments: Pearlescent vellum was using again to cut the “Boo!” (Halloween Elements) and the larger oval for a personal message (Ovals-Crosshatch). Graphic 45 Midnight Tales papers and ephemera are used for their sentiments on the card front and back. The “Happy Haunting” sentiment is from the newly released Halloween Phrases stamp set.

Envelope: The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope with its back flap decorated with more of the Graphic 45 papers.

Sleigh Bells Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

There’s a new mini release of five new stamp sets from Karen Burniston. For this card I’ve used the new Christmas Wishes sentiment stamps along with previously released die sets – Sleigh Pop-Up, Christmas Animals, Oval Frames Pop-Up, Gnome and Santa, Labels -Crosshatch, Squares- Crosshatch and Church & School Tiny House Add-Ons.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Cardbase: Start with an 11×4.25-inch rectangle of kraft colored cardstock. Score and fold at 5.5-inches to form an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) side-fold card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers.

Card Back

Santa, Reindeer and Sleigh: Watch the assembly videos at the bottom of each of the dies’ linked pages. Santa was made using the Gnome and Santa die set and has the possibility to have his face stamped using the new Fun Faces stamp set. The reindeer were made using the Christmas Animals die set and made on the reverse side of normal die cut. (See the video above to learn how the harness was made.) Using just the sleigh die from the Sleigh Pop-Up, cut once in white and again in silver, Use the stencil die to emboss the sleigh body. Trim off the runner on the white embossed piece and ink with red. Place the red sleigh body slightly offset on top of the silver to give sleigh some dimension.

Pop-Up Platform: Use only the largest die in the Oval Frames Pop-Up set to cut from cream cardstock. train the folds as directed in the die’s assembly video (located at the bottom of the linked page.) Using a glitter paste, add a thin coat to the main platform and let dry before gluing the sleigh onto it. Follow the steps in the video above for the order to glue the various pieces into the card.

Card Front

Sentiments: All the sentiments were stamped in black ink using the Christmas Wishes stamps set. They were cut using the smallest plain die from the Labels -Crosshatch set. For the card front a square decorative paper background and two silver bells were made using the Squares – Crosshatch and Church and School Tiny House Add-Ons die sets.

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for September 2025 using the theme of letter. I chose to make a card celebrating the Owl Post in the Harry Potter world using the Feathered Animals, Postage Pop-Up, Arch Pop, Rainbow Add-Ons, and Paper People die sets.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Arch Pop-Up: Watch the assembly videos (located at the bottom of the linked die set pages) for the Arch Pop-Up and Rainbow Add-Ons. Use different shades of gray to build up the stone archway. The keystone of the arch is a decorator die in the Photo Fan Pop-Up.

Harry and Hedwig: Harry is made using three die sets – Paper People, Tiny Accessories 1 and Graduation Elements. Hedwig is made using the Feathered Animals set using white card stock and a gray brush tipped marker. (Watch the video above for assembly. Also watch this video for more details on the Hogwarts uniform.) The envelope Hedwig carries is from the Postage Pop-Up set. Watch the video above to learn how the red seal is made.

Sentiments: All the sentiments and Hogwarts crest used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps.

Day 7 – Week of Good Cheer Christmas Cards

| ullycatdesigns

This is Day 7 in the Week of Good Cheer Christmas Card series featuring cups and mugs of winter cheer as beverages. Today’s card features Trinity Stamps’ Trini-Tea Cup Card die set made up as a Santa mug of cocoa. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)

Watch the video below to see how the card was made.

Cardbase:  I started with an 8.5×11-inch sheet of red cardstock of at least 80lb. weight and cut out the shaped card base using the Trinity Stamps’ Trini-Tea Cup Card die set.

Santa:  Santa is created using a Spellbinders’ set of scalloped circles and an i-Crafter’s set of nested circle dies. Watch the video above to see how it was made. The mustache, eyes, mouth and eyebrow come from the Spellbinder’s Cocoa Wonderland die set.

Sentiments:  The die-cut sentiments of “Christmas Greetings” and “ho, ho, ho” are from Karen Burniston’s Small Script- Christmas die set. Another Karen Burniston product, her Winter Hugs stamp set, was used to stamp “Stay warm and drink Hot Cocoa” in brown ink on the catalog (6×9-inches) envelope’s back flap.
